How to work with agencies using Locate A Locum

You might think that using Locate a Locum means that you have to say goodbye to your agency contacts - and you can, but only if you want to.

You see, we here at Locate a Locum know that sometimes you need your agency contacts and we aren’t going to force you into an us or them scenario. Instead, we’d rather we worked together.

Currently, working together isn’t so easy though. Everything is separate, which means sending out gap schedules separately to each agency, receiving replies separately, and then making constant changes to your spreadsheets so that booking information is up to date - which seems like a bit of a hassle to us.

So we thought we’d create the solution. Thanks to our brand new agency feature, you can now post gaps as normal in our calendar. Then, all you have to do is flick over to the shifts dashboard view, choose which shifts you would like to export and send them straight to your agencies of choice, all with just one click and without having to even open your emails. You might want to send your shifts to all of the agencies you are in contact with, or just choose one in particular - it’s completely up to you.

If the status on a shift changes or is updated, such as when a locum is booked for a gap, agencies will get an instant notification, so you and your agencies are always on the same page without the constant phone calls and emails.

Get started today by downloading the Locate a Locum app from either the Apple or Google Play store.
